I should probably mention that it is not complete. The Blood Bowl section only contains Blood Bowl stuff that you can still order from GW. I would imagine the other sections are the same. It's still pretty damn impressive and I'll be picking one up.
I think hard cover is $40 and paperback is $30. Oh yeah, and they have the Ardboyz shoulder pads and Ardboyz jaws reversed, so there's at least one error  |

| I don't believe they made the cut, but I could be wrong. Only had it in my hands for a quick leaf through. |

| I would imagine it would be available in the UK, but I don't see it on the front page of their online store and a search revealed nothing... |

I still think it's crap...
$30 for a catalog that's gonna be out of date in 6 months anyway? $30!
Hey buy a book that shows the rest of our stuff that we want you to buy ! Oh and to hide the fact that we're ripping you off, we're gonna put in some painting/modeling tips from the other books we want you to buy so that you'll buy them too.

| It's not, Charging $30 for it is. Call me granpa, but I remember back in teh day (I think maybe even last year) when the cat's were free or at the most 1 or 2 bucks. And the pics of the minis were "full color" too, they were in black and white. Last time I checked no mini's ever came painted and metal & plastic show up fine in monotone. If all you need is a reference for products then this is a rip, because you're paying for a Painting/Modelling guide that you may not want or need because it's been fused with the product catalog. |

| Have you seen the size of this thing? I doubt the modelling part of it is so huge that it would make a difference in price if you left it out. |

| Yeah, I've seen it at the shop next door. And if it wasn't such a big deal it'd be in B&W & on newsprint, instead of printed like an issue of White Dwarf on glossy sheet and offered in a collectors Harcover edition. It's pretty much a Heavy Metal Showcase book combined with the catalog. I'd rather spend the $$$ on some actual figs. |

It is a sweet book. My only lament is that the "Collectors" sections, i.e. the "old" minis, didn't get extended to Blood Bowl. I'd like a few more 2nd ed. Skaven to round my team out. Unfortunately, it's a no go.  |

| GW doesn't produce the 2ed BB minis anymore (other than the starplayers), so no surprise they're not in the cataloge. |
